That's Heart Palette

That's Heart Palette
(Eye shadow & Blush)



The That's Heart Palette, this adorable palette was created by one of the well known beauty guru YouTube, Heart (username "Thatsheart"). Despite the cute packaging, the awesome thing about this amazing palette is that it contains a variety of fun colors to choose from ranging from neutrals to gorgeous pops of colors. Not just that! It also comes with a face bronzer, highlighter and blush!



This palette comes with both matte and shimmery eye shadows. Everything in this palette is perfect versatile for both day and night time looks and also both wearable and dramatic looks. 
Pro: Pigmentation and color selection is great with cute packaging (comparable to high end packaging, smooth texture, and magnetic closure perfect for not having to worry about opening in handbag/makeup bag)
Con: The only con is that some of the eye shadows tend to be a little chalky


Description of eye shadows (from left to right):

  • The 1st eye shadow is a shimmery white/pearl like eye shadow which is perfect for highlight for under the brows on the brow bone
  •  The 2nd eye shadow is a cute matte pink color which is great for the eyelids and can transition from daytime look to night time
  • The 3rd eye shadow is a beautiful matte cobalt blue with a hint of purple which can be used as a nice pop of color on the eyes
  • The 4th eye shadow is a gorgeous and I do mean gorgeous shimmery teal/turquoise blue green which will be amazing on the lids as a attention catcher!
  • The 5th eye shadow is a shimmery light taupe which can be used as a transition color or also a eyelid color
  • The 6th eye shadow is a nice matte medium brown mixed with taupe color great for defining the eyes such as the crease
  • The 7th eye shadow is also a nice matte with extremely light shimmer taupe/brown but more of a taupe color
  • The 8th eye shadow is a nice matte black which can be used for many purposes such as defining the eyes on the crease, outer v  (outer corner of the eyes) and it can also be used as a eyeliner if you want a nice soft look other then using the typical liquid, gel, or pencil liner which can be a little too harsh sometimes

Bronzer, Highlighter, and Blush
                                        Description of Bronzer, Highlighter, and Blush:
  • Bronzer: The bronzer is a very nice versatile color for any skin tone. The great thing is that it is matte! Which always great! and is usually hard to find matte bronzers especially for those of us with oily skin and don't want to accentuate any more of our oiliness!
  • Highlighter: The highlighter is beautiful! It can be used to be apply on areas on your face that you want to stand out or accentuate. It is nice and matte with slight shimmer.
  • Blush: The blush is a gorgeous matte pink, great for any skin tone. It is nice for a slight natural color on the cheeks and can also be build up for a much more dramatic look.
 OVERALL
I really like this palette! However I don't really like how some of the eye shadows comes out kind of chalky but the color payoff is really good :)

OVERALL

Overall, I've got to say, I LOVE this palette. I am so glad I got my hands on it especially because it is a limited edition version. This has definitely been my go to palette. I tend to gravitate towards it every morning then any of my other palettes. 

Hopefully this review was somewhat helpful to you!

Naked 3 Palette

Get NAKED!
Urban Decay NAKED 3 Palette



       I finally got my hands on this gorgeous palette! The Naked 3 has got to be the most beautiful of them all compared to the Naked 1 and Naked 2 even the Naked Basics. This palette contains nice soft neutral tones with a beautiful rose gold scheme going on. Very soft and romantic color selection! It also comes with a nice and durable double sided brush which is always a plus!
       For the packaging wise, the palette is very durable tin can like material with a very secure closure. The surface has a very nice texture to it and it also come with a nice full sized mirror!
      This palette can be found at your local Sephora, Ulta, or Macy stores at the price range of $52.00. 



Pros: Pigmentation is great! The colors are beautiful and very good payoff. They are very wearable from day to night with a variety of neutral colors to choose from ranging from light to darks and shimmer to matte.

Cons: None that I can think of :)



                  Eye Shadow Descriptions (from left to right):

****Most of the shadows have a pinkish hue to them****

  1. STRANGE is a nice matte white, great for inner tear duct and also highlighting under the brows on the brow bone
  2. DUST is a shimmery cream color which will also be beautiful on the inner tear duct and also for a pop of shimmer on the center of the eye lids
  3. BURNOUT a nice slightly shimmered beige, great as a transition color for blending
  4. LIMIT a nice soft matte nude 
  5. BUZZ gorgeous shimmery nude pink 
  6. TRICK beautiful shimmery goddess like gold/rose gold for that perfect touch of shine!
  7. NOONER a nice matte soft taupe brown great for a transition color or for the crease
  8. LIAR a slightly shimmered taupe
  9. FACTORY a darker slightly shimmered bronze great for definition
  10. MUGSHOT slightly shimmered grayish taupe
  11. DARKSIDE a matte charcoal brown
  12. BLACKHEART a beautiful mix of brown & black with specks of purple, red, and copper shimmer
OVERALL
This palette is beautiful! I can't stop admiring it. However it tends to not be the one that I reach for constantly. The colors are a little bit too NAKED (neutral) for my liking because it id too close to my skin tone color so some of the colors doesn't really show on my eyelids.
However, I do recommend it to those of you how loved nice, soft, romantic, everyday looks!
